Day one

How you see this is up to you. Is this the title? Is it the theme? Is this what the punch of the piece is about? These are just something to prompt your own muse to get started.

Author Spotlight – Renata Parvey

Renata is from India. She likes reading and writing, gardening, dancing, going for long walks and runs, playing with my pets, and watching movies. She has two cats and three foster kittens.

When we asked why she chooses to be an indie author this is her response. “I’m not from a literature or journalism background. Coming from the science field (I have a Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics), the writing and publishing industries are completely different arenas for me. Becoming an Indie author was more of an unconscious decision of merging my love for the written word and bringing that out to readers. I’m quite clueless about literary agents and how to navigate publishing houses.”

She has short stories, poetry, essays, articles and artwork published across books, journals and magazines. Some of the anthologies that feature my work come from Raven & Drake Publishing, Black Ink Fiction, Sweety Cat Press, Ghost Orchid Press, Her Voice.

To begin, gender roles have been a hot subject lately. Yes, it has been a hot subject for a very long time thanks to the women who fought to get women more rights than we used to have. However, due to the LGBT+ community getting rights, FINALLY, the fight for gender roles and gender types has turned into a wildfire.

According to the World Health Organization: “Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl, or boy…

The little stranger II – Patricia Harris

braveandrecklessblog's avatarBrave & Reckless

My mind welcomed the stranger at the start of the day

the beginning of my plan blew to hell,

the little stranger that entered my life

added to the need to be strong.

The stranger that brought such turmoil

to a life so calm and true,

was brought in from a mind confused,

Its name was anxiety,

and it forced its way in.
